sleepwalking

pick

A woman wakes up exhausted every morning, limbs aching, with unexplained bruising. She eventually finds out that she‘s sleepwalking. Strange things are happening - cats start to run away from her - and she tries to ascertain what is happening. It‘s a short read, a bit creepy, and one that keeps you hooked. The ending? Yeah, who knows what happened but I have several theories and I‘m okay with that. #offtheshelf #bookspin

Cathythoughts Sounds good. I have a sample on my kindle .. I‘ll try it 👍🏻😁 4w

CBee This was definitely creepy. Normally I can‘t do sad animal things but, for some reason I could with this book? And after a minute of being mad about the ending, I decided I was okay with it 😂 4w

Suet624 @CBee I know what you mean about the sad animal thing. She just breezes over it so quickly that it kind of didn‘t sink in as hard as it could‘ve. 4w

CBee @Suet624 that‘s exactly it! Didn‘t have time to really ponder it before it was over 🤷‍♀️ 4w

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 4w

An entertaining read. Definitely a page turner - I love psychological thrillers. Like others have said I don‘t really know what happened at the end, but a pick nonetheless.

Suet624 This one is in my pile of books just waiting for me to grab it. 2mo

sarahbarnes @Suet624 If it wasn‘t I‘d offer to send you mine. Hope you enjoy it when you get to it! 2mo

I forgot to review this. I listened to the audiobook mostly, but needed the physical book to read the ending to find out what I missed/misunderstood listening. But guess what? I still have no clue what actually happened at the end. I don‘t need a neat and tidy ending but I also don‘t love it when I feel like I‘ve missed something. This seems to be purposeful. Still, I enjoyed this propulsive and quick read. I was anxious throughout!

AudiobookingWithLeah Yeah, I think I relistened to the end twice. It was definitely disappointing. 4mo

Hmm. So I liked this and I was really invested but after that very unresolved ending, I have SO MANY questions 😂😅🫣 @BarbaraBB I bought this one based on your review so, I‘ve made a new hashtag: #blameitonbarbara 😀😂

julesG Nice # 4mo

CBee @julesG thanks! 😂 4mo

BarbaraBB Lol, that‘s a first, being a # 🤣🤣. But I know what you mean, that‘s ending was so frustrating! 4mo

julesG @BarbaraBB Frustrating yes, but also good. Sometimes an open ending is better than everything wrapped up nicely with a bow. 😉 4mo

BarbaraBB @julesG Yes! That‘s why I loved it too. It left me with all the feelings! 4mo

CBee @BarbaraBB I can think of other times that hashtag would‘ve come in handy! Many books I‘ve read thanks to you 😊 4mo

CBee @julesG the more I think about it, the more I‘m okay with it. At first I was all how dare she end it like that 😂😂 4mo

BarbaraBB What goes around comes around 💕 4mo

CBee @BarbaraBB ♥️♥️♥️ 4mo

I finished this one last week but hadn‘t reviewed it yet. I got it from the library based on the cover & description & made it a January #Roll100 pick (# 62 Any Library Book). (I also saw @BarbaraBB really liked it-always a plus!) So yeah, this book is both very dark & very good. Creepy, set at night & in Iceland where a young woman is exhausted & finds out she‘s sleepwalking to the tune of 40,000 steps on her smart ⬇️

DebinHawaii … watch. 😱🫣 A quick read & be warned there are some triggers. I don‘t want to mention them because I think the discovery of them with the MC add to the creepy horror vibe, but you‘ll see them if you look at Goodreads reviews. The ending is ambiguous which isn‘t always my favorite but I think it works in this one.

Casey and I agree THE NIGHT GUEST is some damned good creepy shit. I started it before bed last night (which, yeah, was a CHOICE), read until I was too tired to carry on, and finished it over breakfast this morning.

BarbaraBB I loved that book and love your 🐶 5mo
